Main Floor home renovation

I recently hired Heron & Burke Construction to renovate the main floor of my house, and I am absolutely thrilled with their service! Right from the start, their team showed remarkable consideration for my needs and went out of their way to accommodate the fact that we were still living in the basement during the renovation. They took the time to understand my vision and provided thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the final outcome.
One of the most remarkable aspects of their service was their efficiency. They completed the renovation faster than I had anticipated, without compromising on quality. This was a pleasant surprise and a testament to their excellent project management skills.
Moreover, they adhered strictly to the budget we had agreed upon. There were no unexpected costs or last-minute surprises, which made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.
I am thrilled with the results and grateful for their professionalism and dedication. If youre looking for a renovation company that values your time, budget, and vision, Heron & Burke Construction is undoubtedly the perfect choice!

Major renovation

Renovation of all three floors and basement. Conversions of garage to an attached studio with an additional bathroom.

Started the week before the covid lockdowns began.

This company did a great job despite all the disruptions from the lock downs. Managed the subs very well.

Great at overcoming unforeseen problems such as foundations and roof weakness discovered.

Full main floor, outside deck, downstairs work

I have used this company, starting with 2 bathroom renovations and have always been extremely happy with the finished work. The above number was the total cost of the renovation including materials. Their work was 180000 and worth every penny.

Paul and Alan completed both renovations to our upstairs bathrooms to such a high degree I didn't bother calling anyone else when we decided to do our main floor renovation.

They stayed on budget, communication was excellent, and subcontractors showed up when they said they would. Paul and Alan made sure the work was of high quality, and completed according to the schedule. They were also super responsive to our requests as the work evolved and closing out the punch list at the end. Their attention to detail is impressive.

Total condo renovation

Alan and his team created miracles for us ..during covid !
The restrictions of work hours, noise challenges, handling deliveries and removal of material from a penthouse condo was immense ..
We felt in good hands .. the whole time ..
He had great people working for him and contacts everywhere .. and everyone likes him .. so they responded when he requested help ..
We felt so lucky to have had him !
We recommend him highly ..

New House Build

We had our home built by Heron Homes and everything from start to finish has far exceeded our expectations. Dealing with Alan not only made the transition easy but it was satisfying seeing our home go from a plan to reality.

No problem was too big and no small issue was overlooked. Every time we needed to discuss some issues regarding our build, Alan was always there to assist, suggest, recommend and more importantly was always willing to hear what we needed.

I have no hesitation in recommending Heron and Burke for any construction that you might be planning. Alan was able to give us a product that he and his company took great pride and respect in constructing.

Heritage Home Renovation

Alan and Paul, along with their team of architect, engineer, interior designer and the endless number of trades people they have work for them on a project are all true professionals and provide a product that goes above and beyond.

As both Alan and Paul said to us throughout our renovation, when they provided options, they would say This is what I would do for my own home. They really took the time to help us understand our overall plan for not just renovating the house, but turning it into a masterpiece.

They took their time with us to walk through every detail along the way. As we worked with them on a weekly basis to see the progress at our house, we were able to see all of the underlying changes and the quality of workmanship. I dont say that slightly, but I truly believe we won the lottery in finding Alan and Paul to do this project.

Due to the level of complexity with our home, and it being of heritage stature, we really were able to get into the nooks and crannies with both Alan and Paul, and all of the various trades people to make the house into something that is not just visually pleasing, but we know the underlying structure of the home is rock solid. In my mind, it is more important that things that are behind the walls and underneath the floors and above our ceilings are more important than just what we see from the drywall out. I know for a fact that all of those things were put together in a very solid way thanks to Paul and Alan; in addition to making the finishes from the drywall out, outstanding.

I would not hesitate to recommend Alan and Paul to anyone that I know to do any level of renovation big or small. Theyre very attentive to their customers needs and they really do suggest the things that they would want for their own home.

Experienced & Trustworthy - Genuinely nice guys to work with

Our project was a complete gut of a 3500 sq ft, 100 year old, 2.5 story home in Toronto.

Paul and Alan came onto our project after we had to part ways with our original contractor. They saved our project.

They are very experienced, trustworthy, and just nice people to work with. They know what they are talking about, and do what they say they are going to do. They have long-standing relationships with high-quality tradesmen (e.g. flooring, tiling, siding). They don't cut corners and corrected things that needed to be. In our case, the included framing, roof, siding, and spray foam - these would have caused MAJOR problems for us down the road if they hadn't been caught and fixed. Paul was onsite more or less every day and was on top of the trades. He was also there to answer the many many questions that we had.

When it came differences in opinion on design/functionality, they walked us through options, and allowed us the freedom to make the final decision on specific details (e.g. railing dimensions, shower glass details).

We really like working with them and wished we had them from the start. They don't have fancy branding and marketing, but they know how to do construction. If we take on another project, we'll definitely be calling them.
